Police said it happened in the 2000 block of Lord Baltimore Drive around 8:30 p.m. on March 18.

The victim was near the Merritt Properties office building when the robber got out of a car, approached him, displayed a handgun and struck him with the gun, police said.

Police did not elaborate on the extent of the victim's injuries.

There may be numbers and letters inside the dice, and there are white panels underneath the arms. The suspect also wore Adidas Samba black shoes with three white stripes on the side, police said.
